    Pork Chop
    Richard G.

    Don't let the 3.5 star average rating fool you. This place is pretty good. The buttered bread starter was yummy. The salads were super unique and really tasty. I had the pork chop entree and it was delicious. Our server Kayla was fantastic. To be fair, the visit did have a couple flaws. My wife's steak was overcooked and the soda came in super small glasses which resulted in lots of refills. Overall, I was very happy with the dinner experience and I'm sure I'll be back soon.

    Such a lovely and spacious nautical-inspired restaurant overlooking the waters by Marina Park in San Leandro. Came on a Saturday with a noon reservation, and there were lots of parking. Once entering the restaurant, I really enjoyed the ambiance and feeling like I was in a beautiful old-school ship with tall windows letting in a lot of natural light. We got grilled salmon, fish and chips, and key lime pie for dessert. Service was warm and attentive, they were really wonderful. This is a great spot with an upscale feel in San Leandro, perfect for dates and nice outings.

    This spot is quite close to Oakland Airport, making it a convenient stop on our way home. We've visited here four times, but my husband has said it will be our last. I genuinely love the cozy feeling of sitting in a boat's hull and enjoying the beautiful view. Our waitress, Angelina, was incredibly sweet, though she seemed overwhelmed with too many tables, and we saw the bartender step in to help. Our son's Fisherman's Platter came out first, and he finished it before our Lobster Bisque and Salad arrived. Everything was good, but the timing was off--we prefer to dine together. I had the Duckhorn Cabernet, which was $17 a glass; I didn't take a photo, but I felt the pour was fairly short. My husband enjoyed his Expresso Martini, which he said was delicious. I truly want Horatio's to thrive. I hope these tips are helpful and support their success.

    Maple Pear and Blue Cheese Salad

    Stopped by for a quick bite after making a reservation through Open Table. We were promptly seated by the large picture windows overlooking the SL Marina. Hubby ordered Prime Rib sandwich au jous with french fries. I opted to venture away from my usual. Had a small Blue Cheese salad with sliced almonds, chopped egg and added salmon. The entrees came out within an ample period of time. I asked Kayla, our server, where's the beef? There was two paper thinned slices of brown beef, was it even prime rib? Kayla came by to check in a couple of times, she was excellent! Personally, I'd reconsider coming by again

    Haven't been to Horatio's in years. Food was decent, ribeye was juicy and cooked well. Hubs got the scallops and he said they were tasty. Place seems a little dated and could use a nice remodel.

    We came here for dinner on a weeknight and were seated promptly. They have tables overlooking the Bay which make for a great view of the sunset and the water. They also have some kind of an outdoor patio seating. Parking is plentiful and the restaurant has a nautical themed decor. Our server, Jessica, was great! She walked us through the menu, informed us of the popular dishes and checked on us often. We got some drinks which were well made. We started off with the crab and artichoke dip - a tasty dip with some crispy baguette. They also bring you their house garlic bread which is delicious! We got the Admiral's feast - a three course menu where you can choose a soup/ salad, main and dessert. The clam chowder was good and the Caesar salad was standard. Next, the sirloin was perfectly cooked as requested. This was served with some asparagus (which sadly lacked seasoning) and mashed potatoes. The salmon was also cooked to the desired done ness (medium rare) and served with fingerling potatoes and fresh vegetables. Dessert was creme brulee the only option in the set menu which was standard. Portions are decent sized and I needed to take some of my food back home! Overall, a decent place for a leisurely meal.

    Fish and "chips"!

    The Maple Pear & Blue Salad from Horatio's tasted like somebody dumped maple syrup on a Costco spring mix and prayed the blue cheese would distract you. Also... where were the pears? I think I found one witness-protection-program slice hiding under a leaf. And the Cajun Chicken Fettuccine? Menu made it sound like New Orleans. Plate showed up tasting like microwaved spaghetti with commitment issues.

    Haven't been to Horatio's since I was a teen. It's sits off in the marina by El Torito's and Marina Inn. Nice size parking lot but not very well lit. The restaurant itself is a little on the darker side but the aesthetic gives port or ship vibes. The service was a bit slow. It took an hour to receive the incorrect order, while noticing that larger tables sat after us already had their food. We received the taster platter but the bread was burnt. 4/10 I had the grilled shrimp scampi with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Good flavor but wasn't hot. Nice size shrimp. The potatoes had seized and the asparagus- thin and overcooked!! 6/10 Lobster bisque was flavorful but came late. 8/10 The crab and shrimp pasta was well seasoned and a nice portion. Quite rich. 8/10 Perhaps just an off night. Willing to try again in the future

    This is the place where it all started. Our fav of all is their Broadway Pea Salad ... so refreshing and very tasty!! Everything is delicious and cooked to perfection as always

    Tasting Sampler
    Jae D.

    This is one of the prettiest restaurants I have been to. The view as the sun was setting was out of this world. All of the food we tried was quality including the sampler, Cesar salad, and the fettuccine. The only downside at the time was the waiting. It took our food about an hour to come out with little to no check ins and we got so hungry. Luckily the complimentary bread was able to keep us occupied for a bit but other than that it's worth a visit!

    Upon entering you are greeted with a inviting presence and amazing atmosphere. As we sat down we were quickly served water and fresh already buttered bread. The three of us all ordered the fish and chips and I can't begin to describe how great the fish tasted and was breaded. Overall a wonderful dining experience with great views and art pieces.

    Horatio's is a very nice spot at the San Leandro Marina, that we've had the pleasure of visiting a couple of times now. The location couldn't be better. Overlooking the water, this is a great place to have a romantic dinner or drinks while watching the sunset. The interior is very nice, with a nautical motif. The restaurant is very spacious, a good choice if you're hosting a party with a large group. Horatio's is affiliated with Skates on the Bay and Kinkaids, of the Landry's Restaurant Group, which I picked up on right away, since they have a similar menu and motif. Skates fell out of favor with us after a really bad service experience there years ago, but we won't hold that against Horatio's. So far we've only been in for drinks and appetizers, but I'm looking forward to having a full dinner here soon. Appetizer-wise, their crab and artichoke dip is a must. They also start you off with warm garlic bread, which is yum. They have a very nice menu of creative craft cocktails. Reminds me of a really swanky cocktail lounge called Petrus we went to when we were in Serbia a few years ago. Service is excellent. Staff is welcoming, attentive, and professional. We look forward to returning soon.

    What a great find by the marina! This seafood spot totally nails the coastal vibe -- the interior feels like you're dining inside a ship, with tons of nautical décor that makes the whole experience feel fun and immersive. Pretty neat place overall, and the atmosphere really sets the tone for a relaxed, waterfront meal. The food was so good. The calamari was perfectly cooked -- crispy on the outside, tender on the inside AND had fried artichokes too! -- and the salmon BLTA sammie was absolutely amazing. Super fresh, flavorful, and piled high with all the good stuff. Definitely a must-order. They also have a great selection of beers on tap, which paired perfectly with everything. And shoutout to our server, David! He was so sweet and attentive, checking in just the right amount and making sure we had everything we needed. Service like that makes such a difference. Can't wait to come back and try more from this yummy menu. Highly recommend if you're craving seafood by the water!

    Ask the Community - Horatio's

    Does Horatio have a private room for private events?

    Don't think so...but they have a private area that we've been so for several work parties

    Does Horatio's still have Key Lime Pie for dessert? It was awesome and I'd like to get some if it's still on their menu.

    Yes that's their specialty dessert as well as creme brulee

    Do they have happy hour if so what times?

    Monday-Thursday 3-5:30p in the bar and lounge only

    What time is lunch over and dinner menu is giving?

    They don't make a distinction. Mon - Thursday 11:30 - 9 Friday- Saturday 11:30 - 10

    Is this a good spot for a social occasion, like a birthday? Would you choose this over paradiso?

    Yes, the food is excellent there and it is an upscale restaurant, but make sure to ask to be seated in the dining room and NOT in the bar. If they seat you in the bar, you will be packed in back to back like sardines and will not feel like a… Read more

    How much is the corkage fee?

    $20.00

    When is happy hour?

    They currently do not have a happy hour and are not sure if they will start it up again

    Is there a kid's menu?

    No there is not

    Do you have outdoor dining? Heaters?

    I've only eaten on their outside patio during the Spring, it's lovely

    Any updates on when happy hour will be back?

    I called Horatio's and spoke to one of their employees. Currently they are not doing happy hour. He told me that it will probably be in the fall, but it is at management's discretion to start up the happy hour.

    Are you reopen for indoor dining yet?

    Yes

    Do they have a dance floor?

    No, they do not.

    What time is happy hour?

    4 to 6pm

    Are there vegetarian options?

    Honestly even if there was a vegetarian option I wouldn't recommend this place it's overpriced and not that good. Maybe a glass of wine and looking at the boats as what I would recommend

The energy was incredible, and you could really feel how excited everyone was to be there cheering on the team. One thing I really liked was that instead of having one giant screen, they had multiple TVs throughout the bar, making it easy to catch the game no matter where you were sitting. There was also a DJ keeping the crowd energized, playing music and hyping everyone up during the match, which added so much to the atmosphere. The bar itself was really nice, and I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how great the overall vibe was. They have a taqueria inside and even though I didn't eat on this visit, the food I saw coming out to nearby tables looked delicious, and several dishes definitely caught my eye. I'll definitely be back to try the food for myself and will update my review afterward. A heads-up that the parking lot is a little small, but there is plenty of street parking nearby, so it wasn't a problem. The space itself isn't huge, but that's part of what made the atmosphere feel lively, energetic, and welcoming. If you're looking for a great place to watch a big game, enjoy a fun crowd, and soak up an exciting sports-bar atmosphere, Frank's Sports Bar & Grill is definitely worth checking out!

See back in the day, McDonalds used to deep fry their fries in beef tallow which gave it a very umami taste.

The meat itself was just okay. * Rice Vermicelli Bowl - 4.5 stars - not sure why it is called a bowl when it was served more in a plate. This is the fusion take on the Vietnamese dish with different dressing. We selected the Galangal Pork, which I did not like as much compared to the usual Vietnamese ones with Lemon Grass.

Only positive thing I would mention is that the free tiny salsa, slice of lime, sliced radish, and pickled jalapeño and carrot was nice of them. Wish the pickled veggies didn't drip vinegar all over the bag (it was wrapped in tin foil). Never been here before and never coming back again.
